and the diesel combustion engine. As more technology is being used in the combustion engine‚ they are becoming more efficient. But not fast enough. So can the current electric vehicles fully replace the combustion engine. As Markowitz explained in the article "Wells to wheels: electric car efficiency". Markowitz explained "In a typical car the drivetrain eats up 5-6% of the energy of the engine‚ while in an electric design it is close to 0%". The drivetrain

It can be thought of as a four-stroke Otto or Diesel cycle followed by a two-stroke heat recovery steam cycle. A partial exhaust event coupled with water injection adds an additional power stroke. Waste heat from two sources is effectively converted

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION At first glance the idea of running an engine on air seems to be too good to be true. Actually‚ if we can make use of air as an aid for running an engine it is a fantastic idea. As we all know‚ air is all around us‚ it never runs out‚ it is non-polluting and it is free. An Air Driven Engine makes use of Compressed Air Technology for its operation. Compressed Air Technology is now widely preferred for research by different industries for developing different drives for different
